Quechee Haunted Campground and Twisted Wizard of Oz Trail

It's that time of year again! Put on your brave face and try not to get scared out of your pants at the Quechee State Park Haunted Campground...it's even bigger and better this year, and, as always, is kept going by your donations.

This year, the theme for our Haunted Trail is "Twisted Wizard of Oz," which will be running from 5pm-9:30pm on Saturday, October 17th at Quechee State Park. Other activities will begin earlier though, in the Quechee Gorge Village.




We take reservations for walk times, and allow groups of 6-10 - please arrive about 15 minutes prior to your walk time to get a chance to meet the Wizard himself...if you've got little ones with you, though, we recommend scheduling for the early time slots, as things naturally get a bit scarier once the sun sets. Call us to reserve: 802-295-2990.


Schedule of Events:
Start at the Quechee Gorge Village shops at 3 pm and ride the Haunted Train, visit the businesses to trick or treat, and listen to Sindy Skinless and the Decomposers! They're a lively skeleton band who entertain and delight all ages.

Then join the children's games under the big tent and win prizes.   Be sure to stop in at All Around Towne photography ($) if you want pictures before joining the festivities at the Visitor Center as you prepare for your walk. Visit with the VINS Center staff  for Hoots and Howls sometime from 4:30-6pm and learn about owls, a classic and beautiful creature of the night.

After you've had a nice afternoon of Halloween Fun, head into the forest and meet your guides as we provide you with a hauntingly good time, and finish your walk with an Egg Haunt brought to you by the Hartford Parks and Recreation Department!
